Ode To The Flu



My apologies if this post is late
I'm contending with something I hate
No matter what I've tried to do
I can't get rid of this blasted flu

I've aching bones, a pounding head
I'd rather just stay in bed
My ears are plugged, can't hear a thing
Even when the telephone rings

How many boxes of tissues I've used?
Countless, my poor nostrils are abused
And I blow and blow but all for naught
Because I've an endless supply of snot.

Good luck with that stuff. I haven't had the seasonal vaccine, but I did take the swine vaccine. Our flu season ends here soon. Hope that you're feeling better quickly.

And yet another humor blogger succumbs to the flu. So much for laughter being the best medicine.

Don: I had the H1N1 shot. Guess it's my own fault I didn't get the flu shot. (blows nose) Blah.

Whitey: Well, I'm sure not laughing. Hope I didn't pass it on to you last week.

Quirks: I didn't realize the flu was contagious over the interwebs. From now on I'll practice safe text.
Me-Me King said…
Oh, noooooooo, you too? Just how much snot can one human manufacture? Keep warm, drink plenty of liquids, blah, blah, blah.

Get well soon!

What's with you guys? Quirky, Me-Me and now you. I'm stayin' the hell away from this place. Nice little poem though. ;) Feel better soon.

Caught the nasty flu virus from having visited Mad Margo, didn't ya!?! I hope now that I've visited you, I don't catch it too!

Cheers man, I hope you get better soon!
nonamedufus said…
Skye: Thanks. I hope so too.

Hoping you feel better soon. So far, I've managed to avoid the evil flu but I think it's still lurking around dark corners, waiting to pounce.
nonamedufus said…
Kelly: Oh, it's out there!
I've been down for the count myself. I got the H1N1 and the regular flu shots so I can't imagine what I'd be feeling like without them.

Hope you're up and about soon!

CL: Wow, you had both shots and it still took you down? That's a pretty strong virus! Glad you're on the road to recovery.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...
